Since most of my trip destinations are usually developing countries, I had never been the country that provides more efficient, well-organized, good service than Japan until this trip to Stockholm. Amazing Sweden. No wonder it is one of the top competitive countries in the world. Photo top left: tickets to make a queue. Very Japanese like efficiency :D Top right: toilet doors to indicate whether it is open or not. Easy eye catch. Excessive service Japanese would like. Bottom left: collecting pet bottles and cans at supermarkets. Good cost reduction measure. Bottom right: caviar tube! Tastes like tarako (cod roe). A must-souvenir for Japanese. But, why fish eggs in a tube like toothpaste? Seems very strange idea to Japanese.
